Working a corporate job is more like a marathon than a sprint.

As a SWE, it's a tormenting me about future job prospects as well

Additionally, there's always more work that can be done. Learn to balance 'good enough' vs 'perfect'

It's always bothered me that recipe sites are now full of SEO-targeted text you gotta scroll past just to find the actual recipe. Thanks for this.

I'm thankful Apple updated iPhones to include the feature where unrecognized callers are asked to state the reason for the call.

Honestly any db system is going to be at the mercy of inefficient queries. Regardless of what one uses, optimization will always be necessary

Whenever I start a side-project now, I think through my expectations and set a timeframe to abandon it depending on how those expectations work out.

It's refreshing to see a story like this make it to the top page on hackernews

I wouldn't sweat no 4-year AI degree. If a person wanted to advance the theory and innovation within AI, they'd prob want a PhD.

But sounds like you're talking about becoming a practitioner who leverages AI.

The great part about new technology developments like what's happened with AI the past few years is that there is a small pool of people who have experience in the tech.

So if you invested the time to learn and build prototypes on your own, you'd be very attractive to any employer seeking to add the skillsets you practiced.

Much of what is called 'science' is not, in fact, 'science'.

I'll take this bet

It's like a breath of fresh air to hear someone make straightforward statements without fear.

Thanks for posting this. I had the same suspicion. Makes me wonder if they've teamed up with one of the other big tech companies to supplement their results.

Cool deal. Suggest adding a note on the homepage for how to access notes you save under `https://jott.live/note/<your-note-name>`

I saw it on the Github readme

"One idea was radio waves, but that was dismissed early on, says Taylor. “If you were in an apartment building, you might start changing the channel on the TV in the next room as well as your own.”

This reminded me how as kids in the 90s, the remote unlock button for our parents' car would set off our neighbor's car alarm if you were too close to them.

You just summed up what I basically wanted to know. Thanks.

I can't believe how many words are written about everything except his journey. I kept skimming and skimming but there's so much fluff

Add an environment variable for `GOBIN`, like this in `~/.bashrc`

export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin

export PATH=$PATH:$GOBIN

Now, whenever you run `go install filename.go`, you'll automatically be able to run it anywhere on your machine.

The secret is to wake up very early before anyone else to get anything you want done.

They're both giant companies who manufacture and sell competing products.

Apple Google and Amazon are even larger companies who manufacture and sell the competing products mentioned by this guy.

It's a direct comparison.

Refusing to sell Chromecast and Apple TV

This is kind of like expecting a Ford dealer to sell Chevys.

My office mate (both programmers) put it this way: Your title walks into the room before you.

In an initial meeting with external customers / partners, the invitees may not know anything about you or your actual role . They see the titles on other people on say a meeting invite- "Senior Architect" or "Director of Engineering" and have much more interest in those guys and ask them the questions. Despite those guys often being so far removed from the actual technology they (in our experience) knew nothing and just said "yes" to everything... or just asked us later.

It's stupid, and it's petty... but it happens, just like this guy tells it.

then running programmatic tests against it that you define to make sure they really have what you need

Sounds like the crux will still depend on how well one writes these tests.

Agreeing that no backup is verified until it is restored... one way this can be achieved is use something like Ansible to script the backup of the database, script the restore, and run them and verify everything is backed up / restored properly.

Then since everything is automated, a person can reasonably trust their backups are verified, with the full confidence if they need to do a backup/restore, they just have to run a script.

I have a touchscreen Toshiba Radius and by far use the touchscreen more than I ever expected to. In fact, it's rare that I use the trackpad any more.

I'm writing this comment on my 8-month-old MacBookPro11,5 with 16 gigs of ram and 1TB SSD drive. I've had 3 brand new MacBook Pros from 2011, 2013, and 2015. The lack of continued innovation on this platform is really starting to show its age.

A choice Apple admits is desirable in iPads and iPhones.

No touchscreen is a sign of age.
